As usual this time of the year, it was turning cold outside, but inside everything was just right.
On Halloween, new member Michael Dillon Stokes (above) had brought his UP 3958 over for a test run. He also made a video. Click this link to see this work UP 3958 Visits the Sue Line
On November 14th, the group ran a 58 car train with both mid-train and rear end helpers. This was also recorded by Dillon Stokes. Again Dillon Stokes and his brother Michael Stokes made a video. Click this link to see this work RailPro DP on the Sue Line
Many, many thanks to Dillon Stokes.
DO I FEEL DUMB.....YES
An earlier post indicated that Dillon and his brother Michael made the video, BUT Dillon's first name is MIchael. Boy did I goof up.

Looks like the bayou has run dry or
perhaps I am afraid to try modeling water.
A note about the billboards on the Sue Line,
they are photographs of real billboards with are
downloaded from my camera to my computer and
then printed on 40 pound paper, cut out,
strip wood added for the legs, and weathered.
This helps with "placing your railroad in the Real World".
